Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
- 4 burger buns
- toppings of choice (lettuce, tomato, red onion, tzatziki sauce, etc.)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground lamb, fresh spinach (chopped if needed), crumbled feta cheese, finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
Add the ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix everything together gently with your hands until just combined. Avoid overmixing as it can make the burgers tough.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties about 3/4-inch thick.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Cook the burger patties for 4–5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. The internal temperature should be at least 160°F (71°C) for ground lamb.
While the burgers are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing the cooked patties on the buns and adding your preferred toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, red onion slices, or a dollop of tzatziki sauce.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Lamb Spinach Feta Burgers!
